I've grown up with his music and it always gives me such hope for humanity. Despite the fact a lot of the songs he sings are not his own, it is his clear passion for what he is singing that stands out above many others. A living legend.
Who has the Dick Gaughan album called "True and bold" ? This song is on there as well many other inspiring revolutionary songs, if anyone knows where i can get it , I'd be well chuffed,as it is well known that this great man is the definition of a people's poet, and a fantastic singer too.
"the gates they are shut and they have you secured, to pay for your evils and robbing the poor"
I was the gig that was recorded for this album, if memory serves correct - Dick making a come-back after a bit of time off with a lost voice. First I'd heard of him (I was taken by some Edinburgh friends) and I was completely blown away.

I don't think this is on Live in Edinburgh. It's on True and Bold: Songs of the Scottish Miners
